Mar. 17th, 2006 03:30 pmIt's started already, the media are picking our Comm Games atheletes to pieces, personally *I* blame the Chef De Mission of the Australian Team.. Anyone who goes around saying that we are GUARANTEED to win 88 gold medals, and has a list of just what sports and what person will be doing the winning, is calling upon the spirits of hubris to reign shit down on our parade.
Which is what's happening..
In a sport, any sport where the difference between winning and coming second or coming fourth, is .4 of a second, then all it takes is for someone to have an ordinary day, and for someone else to have a slightly better day, and voila!.. The person they didnt count on or expect wins the medal.
And this frigging incessant blather bemoaning the lack of Thorpie and Hackett... FFS get OVER it, and show some support to the ones taking their places.
The world will NOT end if we dont end up winning 88 gold medals, really it wont.
